Hunting Season

They’re called Seeschwalben in Germany (terns) –  which translates to see swallows, and rightly so, because just like the swallows on land, they’re lightning fast. They boldly dive vertically into the water to catch small fish. Unfortunately, I wasn’t close enough to take clear pictures and desperately wished I had a longer focal length. After the debacle on La Palma, I’ve become more cautious with seawater and cameras. Perhaps the terns will hunt closer to the shore again…
